Well with roses, they are organic rose from OrganicBouquet.com. They are grown with out synthetic chemicals. So it is better for the growers, the pickers and the florists. The florists can get dermatitis from working with flowers with lots of chemicals.

What is the price point on these compared to...?

They are about $5 more per dozen than what you would normally buy online.

So not, not much. And it is really worth it. They are beautiful. They will open up nicely. I just got them yesterday. So by tomorrow they will be just big and gorgeous.

They are beautiful! They are wrapped nice and tightly. They will be gorgeous tomorrow. Some people say they smell better.
